1944 Map of Front Royal

About this map

Front Royal serves as the focal point of this 1944 edition, positioned where the South Fork Shenandoah River and North Fork Shenandoah River converge. The landscape is dominated by the northern reaches of Shenandoah National Park, featuring the early route of Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail as they traverse the Blue Ridge Mountains. Industrial footprints are evident at Viscose City and Central City, while the presence of the U S Military Reservation and the Shenandoah Homesteads Project reflects federal involvement in the region's land use during the era.
